Our take on Shotgun Legend
Rather than guiding players through a clearly signposted adventure, the game makes uncertainty part of its structure. Its multiplayer also departs from standard cooperative design by tying both players to shared health, so increased damage output can bring increased damage received.
What is Shotgun Legend?
Shotgun Legend follows Eugene after he passes through a portal with a truck rim and arrives in a land controlled by aliens.
He uses a shotgun and alien technology while fighting aliens and the undead, exploring 10 dungeons in search of the rim, which may provide a way home. The game limits guidance, leaving navigation and objectives for players to work out independently. Its item system includes 8 active items and 8 passive items, for 16 items in total. A special item permits a second player to join, linking both players’ health while potentially increasing damage dealt and damage received. The game also includes dual-wielded shotguns.
